Gatekeeping started already.. RDF is needed

Right? :joy::see_no_evil::clown_face: Makes no sense at all…I don’t even think they really know what they’re talking about, and at mid expansion was where it peaked :joy:. It’s either PVELITISM or they want to find a reason to what killed WOW and for reasons unknown to us, a saving grace QOL feature has taken point for being the scapegoat :joy: nothing in WOTLK killed WOTLK it was EVERYTHING that came after, so removing or delaying QOL FEATURES makes no sense at all…Hate on the cata team and beyond and Activision merge

Hehehehe :see_no_evil: :see_no_evil:

Now it’s blatant trolling. SMH

No, you’re absolutely right it’s not enough, you first responded implying RDF was a problem and yet you’re happy with that problem being added next year, so why next year is it not a problem or why next year are you okay with that problem created and not now? I’ll give you a hint

“I don’t want casuals to do heroics, I would like people around me to know that I am an optimal player”

Not at release

Yeah, like dual spec, 1.5s mounting, rbg, tome of flying and so on.

Why RDF is any different?

Im not happy and i dont want it. But i can do nothing about ICC release because i know that I should respect the game that i choose to play.

After all, its part of ICC and not a SUPRISE.

don’t know

this is the 3.4 version of the game, but Ulduar ToC and ICC aren’t available.
Dual spec is available, but not the dungeon finder.

I have to guess this is intentional. I heard a dev interview saying they don’t want people to spam dungeon and gear too fast, they want time for the content to breath.

Well what about next week? It gives all of you that want to really show off how optimal you are by getting to 80 and getting your heroics in order, and you can even lock heroic mode for the first month for RDF…My server has online right now 1-80, 24 HORDE people online, 13 of those are 70-80 and at same time about 400 Alliance, in peak there are THOUSANDS of Alliance compared to <200 Horde (between 1-80) before launch there were 83 players on Horde during peak and 187 Alliance IN NAGRAND ALONE!

12 million subs during original wotlk and they thought “hey lets add a cross-realm random dungeon finder”, why?

I mean, there was;
200+ realms,
better faction balance than classic has right now,
getting boosted by a high level through dungeons was possible,
People had their friends and guildies from Vanilla to TBC through early Wotlk,

You know what they also had? People who could find anyone to run dungeons 1-68.
There was 1 Healer on Server A, 1 tank on Server G and 3 dps in a group on Servers X,Y,Z though.

Then when those players ground their way to 80, they were met with Gearscore and gatekeeping and speedruns and boss skipping and they couldn’t get into Heroics.

Because they couldn’t get into Heroics, they didn’t get into raids. Then they would either;

Reroll on a higher population realm, make a new character and max out their alts from doing this repeatedly, or quit.

Many realms died, many stopped playing despite the 12million subs. The solution was to auto-group people.

The only downsides to RDF are that gatekeeping and reserving items become essentially impossible and ninja-looting and poor performance are made more possible.

I reckon that Blizzard A, don’t want people to gear to fast and B, don’t have the man power, gm’s or customer service personnel to deal with all the crying that would occur when the dps would need on tank items and healer items. I mean they added the ability to trade and eventual personal loot and removed master loot for those reasons.

And that will do NOTHING but hinder progress of casuals or not even casuals, I’ve pulled 48 hours with no sleep and about to hit realm first belf so I’m hardly a casual but getting anything done at all when there’s hundreds of alliance around every corner is almost impossible (hence why we’re only just getting realm first 80s on horde right now! This will not in the SLIGHTEST effect the content clearing of dedicated discord fully optimized players and why should it, but to punish everyone else is just ridiculous

I’m afraid this gonna be the same for whole RU region in a month. It was like that in TBCC.

That’s actually somewhat a point. But if that’s true and intented that’s bad cuz phases has a very tight time constraints.
Funny that PoE did literally the same stunt last league. The results were beyond abysmal

They did in WotLK OG.

By adding RDF.

Yeah, but pally considers that RDF is a prob that killed wow later

Not a valid argument unless we do progressive patching for everything.

Welcome back our Shadowfrost DK overlords.

I know, it “killed his wow so now he only does it for the stories WAAAAH”.

He’s ludicrously predictive and can’t fend for his “reasons” whatsoever.

Content vs game features.

All the game features are in the game. All the content is phased.

Not really that hard a concept to grasp.

Even if the pattern for Jeeves is currently dropping despite it not being craftable till we get epic gems.

The current stance is that we’re not getting RDF at all. Hence the threads.

It’s not coming in ICC from the information Blizzard is currently sharing. Hence the threads.

We’re not getting it. At all. Hence the threads.

Yeah you will wait, untill ICC.

I can’t believe I have to repeat this to you over and over and over and over and over.

Go away. We’re not getting it in ICC. Your posts are pointless.
